My service directly impacted homeless people in my community who are hungry and in need. My service included helping to prepare food (I opened 5 packs of 24 cans some were tomato sauce and some were canned pears) and packing up the food in to-go boxes to pass to the guest. Ive met great people during my volunteer there! I am so glad that there were other volunteers that day. It is a lot of work preparing, packaging, delivering, and cleaning up for a big line of hungry people. So I am glad I was with people who were there who were all so sweet and willing to do anything to help out. I never realized the amount of homeless people living in the downtown area. The amount of people that came that day... hungry and in need of basic necessities (like socks, underwear, toiletries) was such an eye opener for me. It just reminds me to continue to be grateful for what I have and always continue to give back whenever I can. Recently, I have been putting snacks and water in my car to pass out whenever I see a homeless person hungry on the streets. I plan on continuing to volunteer with this organization. I know they need all the help they can get and if I can help out more I know I'll be contributing in making sure people have the foods they need.
